The presentation of this electric range brought together around 300 people at the Jarama circuit in Madrid, who were able to try out the experience of driving the new models through track test drives during the Go Electric event.

Volvo Trucks is testing electric trucks with fuel cells that only emit water vapor and have a range comparable to
diesel trucks, up to 1000km. In a few years’ time, a second pilot phase will start in which tests will be carried out at customers on public roads.
